Those trim pieces are custom made to match the originals. Originals if you are able to find them are usually beyond straightening after removal. If I remember the company selling the material is Northfield Forming. The raw material is a half round copper piece filled with lead. Once the pieces are fitted to the top there are small nails or tacks set in the lead then off to the chrome shop. A lot of work and expense but they do look good.    Harry
